Who could blame him if he went, hel be a millionaire in a few years out there. The rumour mill over here is fafita to Catalan and Tom to Leeds end of season. If he goes good luck to the lad he’s give his all for us and provided his body holds up hel improve out of sight in Australia

It was mentioned at the weekend to me after the Trinity game, Tom been sought by an Aussie club for next season. £200,000 fee offered for him.

Would much prefer him to go to Aus. Could probably get him back at some stage.

He's worth more than 200k

Re: Johnstone to Nrl : Fri Aug 21, 2020 7:17 am  

If i were him i’d be off like a shot. He’ll be a star out there and a wealthy one at that. Add in playing in the best league in the world with excellent facilities will bring his game on even further and the weather and lifestyle and it’s a no-brainer if the chance is there. And lets be honest from the clubs point of view the money would be handy right now given everything thats going on.

He probably is pt but like everything at the present time 200 thou would be more than welcome and provide Cc with a kitty to buy a couple more second rowers and maybe another full back.

He is worth what clubs are willing to pay, which is sadly likely to be less than 12 months ago thanks to the pandemic hitting all clubs income. And given his injury history that figure sounds about right to me.

Its about whats best for Tom the club comes second. Its not very often a T J comes along particularly at our club and for him to reach his full potential he need to move on.

It I was given the opportunity I take it, this country is gone down the pan what with the recent legal justice and nanny way of things being run I wouldn't even think of coming back here.

He'd leave with my best wishes good luck to the lad hope it comes true
